Sorry for the late response, I've spent most all of my free time out on the machine. Here are some things I discovered:

- There appears to be a decent amount of preload in the bearings. Putting...

I picked up a barely used 1510 Workbee machine along with the Queen Bee Pro upgrade kit that was not installed. I installed the upgrades according to the videos on youtube, but one thing I noticed is...

Alright, so apparently there needs to be a factor of 2 in there somewhere, and my GRBL controller was also out of sync. I've got it all resolved now, but I still don't understand where my factor of...

Hey all, I just switched the electronics for my G0704 CNC machine from LinuxCNC with a ghetto old computer to a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with bCNC and GRBL. I've got everything all configured and was doing...

Sorry for the delay in my reply. My controller PC appeared to have died, so I spent most of my free time this week in troubleshooting, resurrecting, and re-configuring the machine and software. ...

I recently did the direct drive Z axis conversion with the 570 oz/in Keling stepper. Every time Z axis retracts, I skip several steps. I have tried slowing down acceleration, but to no avail. After...

I have made all the parts for the Z axis direct drive with the larger coupling. My question though is this: I can't find the info on the DVD about whether or not I remove one of the jam nuts on the...

Beautiful, thanks so much!

Awesome, I must have just missed the info. Before the new discs get here, I will put some flats on. I have both blue and red loctite, which would be best for the oldham set screws?

Quick question regarding the shaft couplings. I broke the acetal disc in my X axis coupler because the threaded portion unthreaded from lead screw. I tightened the set screws as best I could, but...

Just as an update in case anyone cares. I was able to get the spacer machined using my tiny rotary table. Everything just fit. The first side I miscalculated and got it a couple though larger than...

I don't have a piece of round stock that has that large of a diameter. By my rough calculations, that would need to be about 3" diameter, would it not? However, I did realize that I have a very...

I've got a question for those who have done the CNC conversion. I bought Hoss's plans last week and have fabricated the standoffs and the motor mounting plates. For the Y axis spacer block, I don't...

I have been contemplating a small cnc lathe project and am looking for advice relative to which machine to use as a base. I currently have three contenders, each with their own pros and cons. Here we...

I turned it by hand some and found that it took more force to turn near the end of the travel. Lubed it up and it helped some. Then I checked my driver board again. Turns out it was set for too...

Just thought I would update this. These are apparently the standard Taig/MaxNC collets (not ER-16). They do have a max capacity of 5/32. Luckily, they sell adapters to be able to use ER-16 collets...

I have a MaxNC 15 that I recently got up and running. I tried running my first piece through it today and found that my z measurements were all wonky. I found that it is because it seems the Z...

I recently picked up a MaxNC-15 CNC mill of unknown vintage. The collets are of unknown type. The outside diameter is 17/32". The largest one I have is for about 5/16" shank. These don't look...

I am new here. I just acquired a MaxNC-15 along with some other tools. I am mostly a woodworker, but am getting in to metal for the purposes of making woodworking tools.
